Hi all! Sorry I have been away for a bit...I have had no internet for the last week! The horror! It has been tough!! I have been working around the house a lot! Little things here and there. I finally have the new and improved fireplace sans brass trim!

What do you think? I like it...I am hoping it looks even better with a new built up mantle when Mr C gets the chance to do it! I used High Heat paint in flat black adn it was a dream to use. It went on in one coat with great coverage. SO relived it worked so well! Here is a little close up:

The top of the fireplace is not red at all (it's just the iPhone picture I took). It looks sort of antiqued in person, which I love so I think that will remain as is. Have you ever painted out your fireplace trim? Do you have a fireplace makeover to share?
